[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Well, Rebecca's explanation was that Web got bored and looked through old files on the weekends, and he apparently has a photographic memory.
Dude. He wasn't bored and looking through them. He likes looking at crime scene photos. He has, like, a side table book of them. He knows that shit like some of us know what artwork was done by which artist from what school.

Huh, that just reminded me - I was curious if that was a real book. I know there are books of Weegee's photographs out there, for instance.
The book is called Scene of the Crime. It's a collection of crime scene photos found in the LAPD archives.
It's a really cool book.
Excellent. Not that I need a copy. I can see just about anything as long as it's fictional, but the real stuff squicks me out something fierce.
I have the huge WeeGee book, a collection which came out during the retrospective a few years ago. Lots of crimes in it, but lots of other stuff as well--Yiddish Theater actors, bar denizons from the Lower east Side, circus performers, Firemen--it's amazingly wonderful.

Kubrick managed to get him as the still photographer for DR. STRANGELOVE. Which reminds me that there's a pricey but well-reviewed Taschen book of stills from the Kubrick archives. I may need to splurge.
DR. STRANGELOVE
My very favorite movie!
Rating was a 2.85 for last night. But I can't remember last weeks.
2.6/4.
And it seems like everyone wants to know about Web's book. It's so much fun!
And what does the rating mean?
